Chapter 275: That Villette Comes to the Door
Rosalyn lowered her eyes:
"Master, you will know if you go and see for yourself."
Gu Chen put the book upside down on the desk in front of him and stood up from his chair:
"You're still keeping me in suspense. I'm actually interested in the person outside the door."
As he spoke, Gu Chen walked out of the study and headed towards the door of his house.
Rosalyn followed behind him the whole time, neither too far nor too close.
When Gu Chen arrived at his door, he found that both doors were still closed tightly and he could not see what was happening outside.
This is……
After observing the person outside, Rosalyn closed the door again?
Who on earth was it that made Rosaline so fearful?
While thinking this in his mind, Gu Chen reached out and opened the two doors of his house.
However, the door was less than half opened. When he could barely see who was standing a little further away outside, his face immediately changed drastically and he pushed the door shut again with a bang!
Pressing the two door panels in front of him, Gu Chen's expression was a little dazed.
After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Rosaline beside him:
"Is it really him?"
Rosalyn nodded slightly, with a look of reluctance:
"It's indeed him."
Gu Chen opened the door a little further, confirmed the person outside again, and pushed the door shut again:
"Yes, it's confirmed. It's indeed him."
Rosalyn sighed:
“Although it was somewhat unexpected, there was nothing we could do about it.
Master, what are you going to do? You can’t keep him out forever.”
Helplessly rubbing his forehead with his hand, Gu Chen nodded:
“You’re right, no matter what, we can’t shut him out.
But this matter... ultimately, I am somewhat at fault, how should I face him?"
Rosalyn stopped talking because she didn't have any good ideas or suggestions.
Sighing, Gu Chen patted the door firmly:
"That's it! Open the door and welcome him home!
You will get a knife if you stick your head out, and you will get a knife if you hide your head!
What’s more, this is my home turf, how can he still turn the tables?! ”
After saying that, Gu Chen stretched out his hands again and opened the two doors completely.
This time it didn't open halfway and then close again, but opened wide.
After opening the door, Gu Chen took the initiative to walk out, and Rosalind still followed behind him.
After walking forward a few steps with an expressionless face, Gu Chen stood in front of Villette and looked at him calmly.
Ah, yes, the person who came this time was none other than the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, Navilette!
It was precisely because of that Villette that Gu Chen felt a little guilty.
After all, he was the one who stole Funina out of Fontaine without even saying hello, so it was normal for him to lack confidence when facing Villette.
Standing here, the two of them faced each other.
Gu Chen looked at Villette expressionlessly, and Villette looked at Gu Chen expressionlessly.
I don't know whether to describe the atmosphere between the two of them as solemn or awkward.
This street is usually bustling with people, and the people of Liyue passing by were a little confused when they saw this situation.
But most people are very discerning.
They could see that Lord Gou Chenxing seemed to be confronting this Fontaine man, and judging from his attire, this Fontaine man was no ordinary person.
Although they don't know what's going on, it's better for ordinary people like them not to get involved.
So, invisibly, the people of Liyue were a little far away. They watched the excitement from afar, but could not see clearly.
At the door, Gu Chen and Villette were still staring at each other coldly.
Villette was calm and patient.
Gu Chen…something went wrong in his brain, and he suddenly said:
"At this point, shouldn't I say, 'I despise all who are great?'"
Villette narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was also at a loss.
Gu Chen smiled:
“Nothing, I just thought that with your personality and temperament, this sentence would be very appropriate.
And in your heart, you probably think the same about me, but I don’t really care.”
A series of banter, which I don't know if it was just a joke, did dispel the inexplicable atmosphere between the two of them.
Villette sighed inwardly, leaning on his cane, and finally spoke solemnly:
“Mr. Gu Chen from the Gou Chen Star of Liyue.
The purpose of my coming here is to find our Fontaine's water goddess, Ms. Funina.
Intelligence indicates that Ms. Funina has been staying at your home recently. Is this true?
Gu Chen's expression was a little subtle:
"Whether it's true or not is another matter. Could you please not ask me this kind of question in the tone of someone judging a criminal in court?
No matter how I listen to it, it feels awkward."
Villette was stunned and felt that it was true.
The other party is at most a criminal suspect now, not a 100% criminal.
Even if he is a criminal, he is a prisoner of Liyue. I am not qualified to judge him, so I am not qualified to ask him in such a tone.
After adjusting his mindset, Villette nodded slightly:
"Okay, then I'll change my words.
Is Ms. Funina your guest?
Regardless, by taking the Water God of Fengdan away without our knowledge, doesn't Your Excellency Gu Chen seem to be disregarding Fengdan?"
Seeing that Villette's originally stiff tone had softened a lot, Gu Chen waved his hand with a smile on his face:
"Oh, what do you mean by not taking Fontaine seriously? That's too serious!
And although Finina is your water goddess, she also has the right to autonomy.
After working hard for nearly five hundred years, can't I just take a break?
It just so happens that I have the ability to take her out without her knowing, and Funina doesn't want to be discovered by you, so we hit it off!
This is a matter of mutual consent, not the kidnapping you think!
Look, look, your face has changed.
Others may not be able to see it, but I can see that your expression has changed.
Your expression tells me that what you are thinking deep down is kidnapping. You don’t think I’m a kidnapper, do you?
How rude! "
That Villette was speechless.
What could he say?
This is what he thought and worried about when Funina first disappeared.
Even though Furninna is the water goddess, her usual temperament is really too harmless.
Even if that letter was left, even if it stated that she was traveling and asked them not to worry.
But after taking care of Funina for so many years, how could Villette not be worried?
During this period, he has been searching for Fininna everywhere, and even mobilized his incomplete ancient dragon power for this purpose.
As time went by and he collected more information, he was able to find Gu Chen based on some clues.
Moreover, he came with the intention of bringing an army to punish someone, which clearly showed that he had no good intentions.
However, unexpectedly, his ill intentions were inexplicably resolved by Gu Chen.
Looking at the somewhat helpless Navelette, Gu Chen turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation towards his home:
"Well, Villette, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside and have a chat."
After thinking about it, Villette nodded slightly:
"Alright."
